Air Fryer Brazilian Tutu de Feijao Sausage & Greens Pots

Tutu de feijao is a Brazilian bean puree thickened with cassava flour and served with greens, rice and small amounts of strongly flavoured meat. Black beans become a smoky, garlicky base beneath crisp sausage coins and cabbage. Fine cornmeal stands in for cassava flour if the latter is hard to find.

You’ll Need

For the Tutu
2 x 400g tins black beans, undrained
1 onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, finely grated
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1/2 tsp ground cumin
40g cassava flour or fine cornmeal
1 tbsp cider vinegar
Sea salt and black pepper
For the Sausage & Greens
5 pork sausages
250g spring greens or cabbage, finely shredded
1 garlic clove, finely grated
1 tsp vegetable oil
Optional but dangerous
Freshly cooked rice
Hot sauce
Fried eggs
Equipment
One deep heatproof dish and one shallow heatproof tray

Method

Preheat your air fryer to 190°C.

Air fry the sausages for 9 minutes, turning once, then cool slightly and cut into thick coins.

Put the onion and oil in the deep dish and air fry for 6 minutes. Stir in the garlic, paprika and cumin.

Add the beans with their liquid and air fry for 8 minutes until bubbling.

Mash roughly, then sprinkle in the cassava flour or cornmeal while stirring until thick and spoonable.

Toss the greens with the garlic and oil on the shallow tray and air fry for 5 minutes.

Add the sausage coins to the greens and cook for 4-6 minutes until browned and 75°C.

Stir the vinegar through the tutu, divide between pots and top with the sausage and greens.

Lad Tip: Add the flour gradually and stop while the beans still slump from a spoon. Tutu should be a soft puree, not black-bean mortar with planning permission.
